Dumbest stuff in MMOs when you compare them to Spiral Knights?

I'll start off with PSO2:

- trading available only to people who spend 1300 yen monthly to combat Real Money Trading (they banned more than 1000 accounts since the launch, they don't tell how much of it are the real money traders though), meanwhile, we don't have any measures against that and we don't get any Real Money Trading

- stupid, useless, rootkit anti-cheat that doesn't even work properly on 64 bit systems to prevent cheaters which the cheaters bypass easily and continue to exploit while the legit playerbase is suffering, meanwhile, we don't have any anti-cheats and no one cheats here

Those two are certainly miraculous miracles!

lets see

pso2 reason for the bans was there where hackers looking for ways to cheat and most hacked amounts of pay currency (photon drops or what ever they are using this time around psu had 7 different things) , people who lied on application form mainly they where not in the area where they said they where from. also game still pso2 still beta game will probably change payment/trade systems 3x before release.

compared to spiral knights could be worse economy could be shot when cr is not even worth the 1 ce or we could have had a rare drop system like pso used to be where things where worth a amount of a rare drop currency (Photon drops, crystals, booster, spheres) and make it so the most powerful thing in game is worth over 20k value or high of that item or even other items of high value even when the old glitches or action replay could make thing nuts.

second i have played many other mmos be happy there is not a quest that requires a $3 pay item to complete it, or chat restrictions because there are more than 3 servers with 15 or so game areas which to talk to any u have to use a megaphone or something similar which u have to buy with pay currency or an insane amount of game currency for 1 sentence (cough perfect world games any of them) or even worse spam bots trying to sell junk and make it impossible for anyone to chat cause they are filling the chat box every 2 secs. compared to spiral knights i like spiral knights pay store better not to cluttered with junk like 70 costumes which u will never need, and its more simplistic compared to most for missions instead of go here destroy X number of enemies for this item which will only drop every so many enemies and u have to be this level to do quest which payout is worthless compared to other quest in the level range. but then i do not miss the grinding and the kill some number of enemies because i got a 10th of experience left to level and enemies in area only give 1-5 exp or no exp at all per one i destroy because i cannot go to next area due to level restrictions and the one in the area i am in are lower levels than me and i can 1hit kill them by flexing, sneezing, or something random.

My number one is:

You fight things by clicking on them and then selecting an "attack" ability.

I liked Puzzle Pirates for coming up with an original way to deal with fighting (and everything else) and I like Spiral Knights for that as well.

Here's what I hate: Early-game skill, stat and such choices ruining your late-game character because of your lack of knowledge on what are the few right builds. Some games redeem themselves with the option to null skills and pick them again, though even this tends to be more or less annoying (costly, bothersome, etc.). Spiral Knights isn't perfect in this regard because you can end up with useless equipment you can't trade, but it's still better.
